Modular Bosses

Loot for Modular bosses monsters is fully configurable in the config file.

Create a new line for each item between the <> Each line represents a different item.
% Drop chance | Quantity | Item name

The picture shows it will drop:

1 note 100% of the time
1 note 1% of the time.

Item names can be gotten in game by holding the item and using the command:
/whatisthis
This even works with other mods items!

The control block is the corner stone of Modular Bosses. The control block allows admins to create respawning groups of monsters that, when killed, will provide a redstone signal to trigger dungeon doors. The monster spawns, amount spawned and respawn timer are all configured right on the block. The respawn timer is not recorded in ticks it is recorded with the system clock, so even if a player moves away from the block and its chunk is unloaded, it will still keep track of its spawn timer.

The control block allows map makers and server admins to introduce MMO RPG monster groups with automatic respawn times. Complete with redstone activation, instant spawn and redstone signal output once all monsters in a group are killed.

Limbo is an "in between" dimension. Certain monsters and objects will exist in Limbo where they can interact with objects and beings on the real world, but the real world cannot interact with them.

In order to interact with being or objects in limbo, one must first step on a Phase Fire flame. The players body will enter the space between dimensions and be able to interact with beings and objects in Limbo, for a limited time.

While in Limbo the players vision with be strangely altered, and their bodies will appear ghostly to all others.

This is a feature planned for future bosses and dungeons.

 The Sandworm spawns a dungeon in a separate empty dimension, so the dungeon generation does not interfere with anything. The dungeon is built out of schematics. So the server admin / world developers can create their own rooms, and the dungeon gen will dynamically pick from them, then generate a random layout with the rooms that they created.

Now when you think dungeon generation and schematics, you think,"Oh great this is going to crush my server"

Those of you that have played with WorldEdit will know, once you start making giant cuboids and altering large swaths of landscape, chances of server crash goes way up. This is due to the fact that WorldEdit attempts to make all changes in 1 tick. So when you try to update 10,000 blocks at once, chances are something is going to be cranky about it.

If I tried to generate an entire dungeon in 1 tick it would surely crash a server. Or I would have to make it so the dungeons are small enough not to crash a server upon generation.

Instead I created a staggered schematic builder method.

This method builds the schematic in configurable increments per tick. So if you have a weaker server, maybe you only want it to build each room 50 blocks at a time. If your server is considerably beefier, then maybe you can have it build 1000 blocks at a time. It is all up to you.

But wait, there's more! You can have multiple dungeons building at once, and it will not beat up your server. They all queue up and build systematically, and your players will be none the wiser. Build giant dungeons without causing crippling lag.

I created a very small dungeon tile-set to showcase the randomness of the Sandworm dungeon gen. Each dungeon entrance and exit start int he same place, but the path between is always random.

 Player Created Custom Dungeons

The player is transported inside the beast when eaten. and will have to fight to find their way to the Brain, and kill the beast from inside!

Monsters Found Inside the Sandworm 

The Golem takes on the material it spawned on. Works even on custom blocks from other mods
Block hardness is then used to set HP and damage. The harder the block is the more damage and HP the Golem will have.

While the Chorp Chorp is not exactly a very menacing monster, the sticky slime it sprays from its......mouth(?)..... is more than enough to glue down its prey long enough for it to catch up and crush its food under its massive weight. To make matters worse Chorp Chorps Usualy congregate in teams of 3 to 5 near their alpha, classified as a Heavy Chorp.

Heavy Chorps are typically 2 times larger in size than a standard Chorp Chorp.
